Scott Loses Race to South Pole and Terra Nova Reaches Akaroa
Wellington dispatch reports Captain Scott's Terra Nova arriving at Akaroa New Zealand with no sign of Scott or his party. The crew carried a message that Scott would winter in the Antarctic to finish his work, while Amundsen had already reached the Pole. Scott had been within 150 miles of the Pole on January 3, and news notes the Norwegians’ prior success as a source of English disappointment. The Terra Nova is expected to reach Lyttelton on Wednesday.
